Philco 90 cathedral cabinet refinishing.
#1

There are too many color theme variation on this particular unit (not by factory, but by restorers themselves). Where can I get the correct one to bring the cabinet to the original factory color specs?
Thanks.

You will want Perfect Brown, M100-0249, Universal Walnut M100-7021 and Extra Dark Walnut (for the base) M100-0209.

Here is an original pic:
   

Ron will know though.

@Old Restorer
Thanks.Please tell me also if I should do the sealing after I am done with a stripping, grain filling and sanding? Won't the lacquer somewhat penetrate the grain filler without preliminary sealing?
